As a gambler I don't need everybody's opinion about myself if they say that I am not good cause I am involve in gambling then that's Okay as long as I am happy on what ik doing then nothing wrongs about it. anyways nowadys there are many people around us that they will talk with us if we are not in thier side. But we don't need them cause it's our choices then the outcome will be the effects of what we doing. And that's the reason why other gamblers fall into addiction cause they can't control themselves.
In as much as gambling is legal in your country, you don't need to worry about what people say or think about you especially if you are a responsible and mature gambler. One might have to be sensitive to what people are saying if gambling is illegal since they might report it to law enforcement agencies. Irresponsible gamblers might also be interested in people's perception of them because they need people's advice to overcome the habit. Underaged gamblers might also be mindful of people's views since they are gambling illegally.
I don't care what they say about me if they know that I gamble but I don't publicize my gambling activities because some people see gamblers are irresponsible individuals. I visit physical casinos but I don't discuss gambling in public so that people will know that I gamble.
